The iron content dependence of the spin‐lattice relaxation rates (I / T 1 ) of solvent protons in healthy human serum has been studied by FT NMR at 60 MHz. A linear relationship has been established between 1/ T 1 and the iron content (with a correlation of 0.89). Our data suggest that Fe(III)–transferrin can contribute to the relaxation rate in healthy human Serum. © 1988 Academic Press, Inc.
